android sql update not working

Question

This is how the table and row look like :

public static final String DATABASE_CREATE = "CREATE TABLE " + TABLE_NAME +
        "(" + COLUMN_ID + " integer primary key autoincrement, " + COLUMN_INSTANT +
        " TINYINT not null, " + COLUMN_CHANCE + " int not null);";

public static final String TABLE_INSERT = "INSERT INTO " + TABLE_NAME + " (" +
        COLUMN_ID+"," + COLUMN_INSTANT +","+ COLUMN_CHANCE
        +") VALUES (" +
        "1," + "0," + "10"
        +");";

And this is how I try to update them :

try {
        open();
        ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
        values.put(column_name, value);
        database.beginTransaction();
        database.update(MySQLiteHelper.TABLE_NAME, values, MySQLiteHelper.COLUMN_ID + " = " + whereClause,null);
        database.setTransactionSuccessful();
    } catch (SQLException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } finally {
        database.endTransaction();
    }
    close();

The previous code would be equal to this query :

UPDATE options SET instant = 0 WHERE _id = 1

But the change is never applied. I check the table before and after the update but the values are the same, can anyone suggest anything?

You can make method to update...here is an example, change column name accordingly.

public int updateDetail(String new_name,String surname) {
        ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
        values.put("name", new_name);
        return Db.update(TABLE_NAME ,values, SURNAME +"=?",new String[]{surname});
}
